[Tigers] Front Shock selection?

[MWood24020 at aol.com]

I'm not sure we can do better than the Koni Reds for off the  shelf dampers 
for the Tiger...you can get them from Sunbeam Specialities or  direct from 
Koni. You also might contact Koni about rebuilding or warranty  replacement on the 
82-1347's you have...I had frozen up rear Konis when I got my  Tiger and Koni 
replaced them for no cost. If you keep the Konis on full soft in  the back 
and just a bit more rebound in front (like, maybe 1/2 turn or so),  you'll have 
good damping and a ride that is better than stock on lower quality  shocks. 
The Edelbrock "IAS" valving is marketing hype and crap...I've seen  
force/velocity dyno plots of Edelbrock's and it is just nonsensical. I've never  seen Spax 
dyno tested and have never seen them used by anyone in  either the road 
racing I used to do or the Autocross that I currently do...not  saying they aren't 
great shocks, I just don't have any experience with 'em to  have an opinion

I think  CAT has some edelbrocks that were done for the tiger at a good
price.  Contact their spares department. Otherwise use Spax or Konis from  the
sunbeam suppliers
